Over the past one hundred and eighty years interested parties had tried to salvage the treasure from the sunken vessel. But their effort went in vain. It is a mystery why and how the treasure disappeared.
The most probable explanation concerns two brothers, John and Rudi, who lived close to the shore. They were hard-pressed fishermen who tried hard to earn a living from the sea. Their boat often leaked and their nets were often torn. After the vessel had sunk, many fishermen went to the scene at low tide in the hope of locating some of the gold bars. They used tongs and nets fastened to long poles but their attempts were made almost impossible by the strong currents. Day by day, the vessel sank deeper and deeper to its ocean grave. As time passed, most fishermen gave up the search.
Only the two brothers persisted and turned treasure hunting into a full-time occupation. Their method was very original. They tied a heavy basket to the end of a rope and took turns to jump into water with the basket.
It would carry them down to the vessel where they would quickly fill it with anything they could grab before going up to the surface.
Each day they would return seemingly empty-handed to their house. After half a year, the Dutch government put a stop to their treasure hunting by declaring that the vessel was a prize of war, and soon after that the two brothers left the island, claiming that they had to visit an uncle who had been ill.
They returned a year later with a big fortune, which they claimed was inherited from their uncle in his will. Form. that moment on, their immense wealth amazed the islanders. They moved into a big mansion and lived in unbelievable luxury. When it was later discovered that there had never been a sick uncle and that the" fortune" must have gathered in other ways, the police began to make enquiries.
The reason why the treasure from the sunken vessel disappeared was ______.
A.that it had been washed away by the strong currents
B.that the sand was unceasingly shifting
C.unknown
D.that it had been taken by those interested parties

听力原文: Many years ago, there lived a poor man who had only one son. One day, there was no more money or food left in I the house, so the man said," My son, you must go to find some work and earn some money."
The young man left home. He walked many miles until he met a rich farmer who had thousands of sheep. This farmer needed a shepherd to look after his sheep so he gave the young man the job.
There were seven mountains around the farm, and there were sheep in every field on every mountain. One day, black clouds gathered. A storm began. The wind tore off branches and blew down mighty trees. The rain poured down. Paths and bridges were washed away.
The young man rushed around and gathered the sheep from the seven hillsides to lead them to shelter in the farm. He had almost reached the farm with his enormous flock when he saw that the bridge over the last stream had been washed away. There was only a wooden plank left.
It was only safe for the sheep to walk across the plank one at a time. They did not like the look of the narrow, creaky piece of wood, but the shepherd pushed a big black sheep across and the rest started to follow, one at a time, one at a time.
What happened next? I'll tell you when all the sheep are safely across the plank. At the moment they axe still going over, one at a time, one at a time, one at a time.
Have all the sheep crossed over the bridge yet? Oh dear me, no. The young man saved thousands of sheep from the mountains and fields. They all have to get across that shaky plank, and they are still crossing, one at a time, one at a time. When will the last sheep have crossed? You may well ask. The answer is, they will all have crossed when every sheep is on the other side! But just now, they are still walking over, one at a time, one at a time.
And what about the young man? Well, he is still waiting, and watching those sheep crossing the plank, one at a time.
One at a time, one at a time.
